Bob firing shots out here if he is able to pull off that match-up on that date.Arum says Miguel Cotto vs Canelo Alvarez could happen on Cinco De Mayo weekend of 2015

The biggest PR fighter in the game vs the biggest Mexican fighter in the game.....on a Mexican Holiday?
That fight could be made and still make loot even if Canelo loses.Thats if Canelo.beats Lara

I would take Bob's statements with less of a grain of salt if he hadn't put that garbage JMM/Bum Ass Bradley fight on PPV.Bob Arum speaking some real shyt, finally, on the state of PPVs nowadays:
True. We need SUPER fights on PPV, not Canelo vs Angulo
I agree with what dude wrote...all the calls from the Showtime announce crew of that fight being a "Fight of the Year" candidate had me like ...it was an entertaining fight but that shyt is nobody's FOY.interesting article on guerrero-kamegai
I don't want to be pessimistic but they will probably keep all of those other belts and just add the unified belt so that they can get sanctioning fees paid to all three governing bodies off of yet another title.what about the WBO though?
this is good news...im sick of the interim, super champion bullshyt..its the reason why a fighter like robert guerrero is talked about being a 6 time champion (which he's not) ..when he was just a beltholder in 2 divisions..1 champion, 1 weight class per sanctioning body...simple concept like how it used to be
Dan Rafael with some news today:
Aug 9, Porter-Brook is off (should appear on a date TBD). Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson is on...but not against each other.
Topping the show will be junior welterweight champ Danny Garcia (28-0, 16 KOs) with junior welterweight titlist Lamont Peterson (32-2-1, 16 KOs) defending on the undercard.
Neither has an opponent yet, but Golden Boy's intention, if they both win, is to match them later in the year to unify their titles. That means Garcia, who talked about a move to welterweight following his tough decision win against Mauricio Herrera on March 15, probably will remain at 140 pounds for at least two more fights before moving up next year.
Arum talking that bullshyt about too many PPVs and they need to be reserved for big time fights then he comes with this nonsense. Bum Ass Bradley is not PPV worthy. That shyt is going to do horrible business because no one cares enough about shytty Tim Bradley to pay to see him fight.On Cotto's next opponent:
Arum said that Cotto would likely return in December -- again on HBO PPV -- at Madison Square Garden.
"We're thinking about the possibility of making Cotto and (Timothy) Bradley," Arum said.
"We're talking but we'd have to work (the weight) out. We haven't gotten that far yet."
Lot's of bright people posting over there I see.these boxingscene retards saying cotto can beat bradley
I see his points but I do think its a FOY candidate...simply because its one of those fights that was a mismatch on paper that turned into something else extraordinary...like Matthysse-Molina didI agree with what dude wrote...all the calls from the Showtime announce crew of that fight being a "Fight of the Year" candidate had me like ...it was an entertaining fight but that shyt is nobody's FOY.
